Training Sessions offered by the Library Staff to help students successfully utilize online library resources and services

With information available in a variety of formats and in many resources, it is essential that students develop skills to enable them to effectively explore and successfully use that information.

To help students get started with the research process, the library organized Training Sessions for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The purpose of the tutorials was to:

• Locate and access information using different library collections and the Internet.
• Understand the need to use quality information and define research topics for assignments and dissertation.
• Understand the differences between articles from scholarly journals and articles from popular magazines.
• Create a bibliography – Cite information – Use Bibliographic Management Tools.

Tutorials were interactive, with students having the opportunity to submit their own questions and discuss any further information needs. Relevant library guides and support material was sent to students upon the end of the sessions.

The library staff assured students that they “will continue to work hard to provide the best possible support through their studies and contribute to an effective learning experience”.

If you are a student who needs further instruction on the use of information resources and services, send an email to the library and request an online instructional meeting.
